“…RESULTS: Transfection of HTM cells with miR-29b mimic resulted in downregulation of multiple ECM components, including collagens (COL1A1, COL1A2, COL4A1, COL5A1, COL5A2, COL3A1) LAMC1, and FBN as well as several genes involved in ECM deposition and remodeling, such as SPARC/osteonectin. Three additional genes, BMP1, ADAM12, and NKIRAS2, were identified as direct targets of miR-29b. …”

“…Out of 15 matrix-related proteins, intragraft transcript and protein levels of syndecan-1 and MMP-9 showed a strong association with the degree of cardiac allograft rejection (CAR), the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, and with infiltrating CD3(+)T-cells and CD68(+)monocytes. In addition, SPARC, CTGF, TSP-2, MMP-14, TIMP-1, Testican-1, TSP-1, Syndecan-1, MMP-2, -9, and -14, as well as IL-6 and TGF-β transcript levels and inflammatory infiltrates all strongly relate to collagen expression in the transplanted heart. …”
